​Try the 69th infantry or the 7th Cavalry servers, those are good ones.

I've ventured into something I've never tried before. "Roleplaying" servers in which you can join gangs and rob banks or join the police or ems or whatever. Its kinda geh but kinda fun at the same time.

​Making your name Pink now Anyhow, I'd love to see mXm get to how it used to be rolling with tons of members online, forums always hopping, etc. But even back then, when we could easily compete with other "hardcore" clans, we always maintained the attitude that this is for fun. We had competitive rosters, but it wasn't a requirement, in the end it was about having a good time with each other. If you wanted to roll with another clan, go ahead. We preferred not to have dual enrollment, but we had no issues with friends hanging with friends. Formed some awesome "alliances" that way. I think that was a big draw for people, the benefits and opportunities of a hardcore clan, with the low stress care free fun of a casual clan. There was drama sure, but it was good times. Ahhh the memories.

​For that ambush mission I parked the truck and team way out of sight. Laid the explosives spaced so it would hit the first and last truck. Waited. Blew those up, killed the driver of the other truck, mopped up a couple survivors, ditched the AI and drove the truck back to the base. lol

​There was a patrol of two guys, they go towards some buildings and you can sneak into the rubble before they fire. They will fire, don't get me wrong, but you'll be in cover. Then the helicopter comes in to drop off more, you can either mow those guys down, or take off around the back towards the hills before they get out. Worked for me, ended up fully armed and ready to go for the rest of that mission.

​Run straight into the ruins in the first village, the dead rebels have ammo, a rifle, map and gps I believe.

That's a ShackTac mod I believe in regards to the compass.

A lot of the old archive posts' formatting got messed up in the upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0

In the armory I believe they are in the support bin next time you have a chance to load out. Enemies may or may not have them equipped, but if they do they wont show in your inventory where your grenades are, but in the upper right near the binoculars and hats and sunglasses. L will turn on a flashlight if you have one on your rifle, or if you have an IR pointer it will turn that on when used with NVG.

It's been all this weekend, but you can still get in on this if you haven't. 50% off ARMA III on Steam. (Balz & Andy, remember how I said it would probably go on sale a week after we all got it? It's been a little more than a week but still.. damn it! lol)

Scrolling through grenades is a keybinding, you can find what yours is in the game configuration menu. (I've changed mine) Medkits are used when injured via the scroll wheel/ options menu. An asterisk appears when one can be used. Toolkits, explosives, drones, etc are also used via scroll wheel.

I'm waiting until it's on sale, by that point there should be some cool stuff out, they even modded in a god mode with infinite ammo and health, that alone makes it complete for me. I'm surprised they left that out of single player to begin with.

I'm a fan of Netgear, but we use TP-Link at work and those aren't bad either. Best router I have ever owned thus far: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-AC3200-Tri-Band-R8000/dp/B00KWHMR6G (Bear in mind though that a router is only as good as the modem that feeds it).

​No problem, it was relatively smooth sailing for me from that mission on.

Yup, my router operates on 2 different frequencies and bounces devices between whichever is performing the best at the time, while also constantly scanning for the least crowded channel. No issues with any WiFi devices. We often have the tower on, a laptop or tablet going and up to 3 SmartTVs streaming with 0 perceived loss.

They are directly below my UAV on the map, which is just to the left of the green question mark. Hope that helps. (click for full res)

I'll try and screengrab where they were on my map

​AI never took a shot at mine. Any crash was due to pilot error in my game.

​Make sure you assemble it in the open. I kept clipping roof overhands at first. You can switch to TPS mode by pressing enter on the number pad for easier flying. Shift is up, z is down. Use WSAD for you basic controls while using the mouse for the more precise adjustments. The spotter is along the ridgeline with the church. If you're looking at the church, go right and follow the treeline, it's only two guys. (You can toggle thermal to spot them even easier). Be advised there is a friendly team on the opposite ridge. You can tell by their gear who's who. Once you see him turn on autohover with the options wheel (middle mouse) and then in the options menu scroll down to Take Turret Controls. Paint him and he'll get blown up. Then you're done with the UAV. I am currently starting my first mission on Adapt, and everything up to this point was a piece of cake. I'm stranded with no gear, no map and a sidearm with 14 rounds. Thats it.

Zzzz

So I noticed today they were running a promotion for new customers to get faster internet speeds at the same price I currently pay for 30. So after a 45 minute phone call, I can post my revised speed:   

​Definitely need to clear up that bottleneck. Upload is outstanding though. 

We had one of these going in the past, back then I believe my result was around 1.5mbps download. Sad.. dark days. lol What's everyone working with these days? Balz, feel free to show off.
